Quote: In the early 620's he combined most of the field and remaining border troops (there is an issue here if the limitanei even existed by this point) into a single, rather large expeditionary force. Did the different classifications of troops operate as separate units/divisions/formations? I don't know.They do not seem to have in the earlier periods of their existence. Limitanei units could be taken into the field army without problems, although they remained of lower rank (operating under the title of pseudocomitatenses).
